Chapter Forty-Seven: The Rise of the Heroes

"Eat a little bit," Phoenix told the elf to swap the jam for peanut butter, "there's a lot going on today." ”

"No, I'll go back and catch up on my sleep. Hermione said goodbye to the two of them and made her way up the spiral stairs to the bedroom.

Looking at Hermione, who seemed to be at the end of the stairs, Phoenix turned his head.

"I want to go to bed too," said Phoenix, clapping his palms as his knife and fork sprang up as he scribbled with jam and porridge on the bread, "Let's get things done." ”

"The Broadcast Stone program was completed quickly. Watson said as he sat down across from Phoenix and gave himself a piece of pickled salmon, "in order to prevent a possible second strike, and the possibility of Muggles using nuclear weapons again in the future." The United States, Britain, France, China, and Russia were the first to complete the deployment, and two-thirds of the deployment was completed in Europe, with the exception of Switzerland and Northern Europe; in Africa, where only Egypt and some small islands remain, and although the sea waters have receded, the rise in sea level and damage may not be eliminated in a short period of time; North America has basically been completed, and South America has completed one-third of the area coverage. ”

"Is anyone doing the same thing as us?" asked Phoenix.

"That's a lot, so we're done so quickly. Chewing and swallowing slowly, he spoke, "The same approach, in which China has already started." Are we going to start right away?"

"After I spoke to the Prime Minister of Switzerland. ”

Watson quickly finished his breakfast and got up to leave. He is much busier than Phoenix, and there are many things that require him to know the progress in real time.

The magic finger tapped on the magic window, and the original simple sunrise disappeared. Outside the window, a drizzle gently combed the glass window like a brush. Through the dim clouds, you can see a number of people riding broomsticks beside the carriage. Not being able to leave home for too long made him a little lost, and he originally planned to meet with his friends and have a good chat, but now he can only come and go in a hurry.

The morning mail came, and as usual, a long-eared owl flew towards him with the Pegasus Times in its mouth, and landed dangerously next to the jam.

It's not easy for the media industry to keep afloat, and people want to get some useful information from the newspapers, but the traditional mailing business is starting to become dangerous, and the public is worried that owls will cause unnecessary trouble, and this lesson has been learned in many times.

It's not a good idea to reveal where you are.

Now more people are choosing to listen to the radio, which is safer.

He took the newspaper and scanned the first page with sharp eyes, when the owl flapped its wings and flew away.

Turning the newspaper straight to the last page and looking back to the front is how he recently started reading the newspaper. The first version was usually all boring nonsense about where there was another vicious incident, where a Quidditch player was violently attacked.

Phoenix unfolded the newspaper and blocked himself out. The silver spoon scooped up a spoonful and put it in his mouth, and Phoenix's skill in using magic to save his own figure was steadily improving. I ate an egg and a small pot of delicious sweet porridge with relish.

In the trade section of the newspaper, prices skyrocketed due to the huge increase in the price of magical raw materials. Among them, dragon's blood soared 120 times, and African tree snake skin soared 128 times, which was the raw material with the biggest increase yesterday - commodities are scarce, people are panicking, and businessmen are buying and selling short.

Magical hospitals in some areas were unable to replenish their supplies after running out of healing potions, many schools suspended the practical part of potions classes and replaced them with theoretical instruction because they could not obtain magical raw materials, and for the first time in hundreds of years, the price of food also rose, because Peverell tightened the use of oxytosin and became more stringent than ever, which directly led to the return of the output period of crops and meat products to the level it should be, and the originally abundant food production continued to decline, and as time passed, the agricultural company operated by Peverell would completely shut down foreign trade, and then the wizards would have to be self-reliant。

It's not that everything is going up in price, for example, Floo powder is an alternative. After the destruction of the network, the work of rebuilding the network was delayed, and although Floo did not raise the price, its stock price fell in the market for the first time in 550 years.

When he finally turned to the first edition, the content surprised Phoenix, but then he was relieved, and it was unexpected. The Hanning family established the Knighthood to replace the vanished Parliament, but it was then crushed by the German Provisional Parliament - there were survivors of the magical institutions in the various regions who were not in the ministry at the time but were away on business or vacation.

This was the second time that the Ministry of Magic had been publicly declared to have been replaced: the witch Sophie Faramond had declared the restoration of the Frankish kingdom, claiming the territories of France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy (according to the current pattern of Muggle ownership), and showing her genealogy to reporters.

However, she was not the only one, in Aachen, Charlie Rudolph also claimed to restore the Frankish kingdom, but the two claimed to have different royal bloodlines, one Merovingian and the other Carolingian. This is not just about France, but also about most of Western and Central Europe.

Charlie claims that he has reorganized 12 paladins, and their first goal is to get rid of the puppet king Sophie. The Chief Knight, Earl Roland (yes, they've already started to build a state!), says that the army is being assembled, and the 12 family armies that are still loyal to the Carolingian dynasty are united to attack the puppet king.

Judging from the information given by the newspaper, Charlie Rudolph has more power, after all, it is closer to the present, and the family continues a little more. The Queen Sophie was a little shivering, not only did she not have much strength, but the capital Paris was already in tatters after the nuclear attack, and the Muggles had fled.

Before that, Aachen had been the residence of the French Provisional Ministry of Magic, and there were still many conditions in all aspects.

Finally, it's time to start fighting.

Closing the newspaper, the house-elf walked over with a stack of folders held high. Phoenix casually took out three documents, and the rest of Phoenix didn't bother to read them, and Hermione basically read them, and read the most important excerpts to him.

The first document corresponds exactly to today's newspaper.

Whether it's Sophie Faramond or Charlie Rudolph who has Switzerland in the pack, Peverell can't be unresponsive. But there are two different opinions within the family about the military action of both sides. One side believes that it will directly send the paratroopers of hell and launch a surprise attack. On the other hand, considering the length of time the war will last, it is extremely unwise to expose their elite troops at the moment, and they should let the affiliated families go.

The Paratroopers of Hell were formerly known as the Air Ballet. It is the most elite unit in the family, with only 60 members, and their combat method is very special, which is a counterforce formed against the enemy's air power. Normally, they will stay away from the battlefield and stand by, if the air supremacy is seized by the enemy, they will directly phantom to the battlefield above the battlefield, without the help of any items, only rely on the phantom shift to keep themselves in the air, and leave with one blow, regaining air supremacy through flexible combat methods.

Later, at the suggestion of Phoenix's father, they switched to a 2,500-meter altitude in the combat area, and when they entered, they freefell directly from the air and began to fight after reaching the combat altitude.

Since most of the young men in the army were popular, the change was welcome, and Balder helped them change the name that they thought was a sissy. The name was devised by his father in the 40's when he was an observer on the Muggle Intelligence Research Commission.

"Hell paratroopers can't be dispatched, let Mercedes pick a suitable vassal family army and discuss it at a formal meeting. "The quill pen 'swished' Phoenix's words on the paper.
